What is Going On?

Mark Your Calendar - 2024 Public Square   Rosary Crusade

9/21/2024

 

​

The 107th 'America Needs Fatima' Public Square Rosary Crusade is about three weeks away!

This year's goal, for America Needs Fatima, is to have Rosary Rallies at 22,500 locations on Saturday, October 12th.  This will be more than the approximate 22,000 rallies held last year.

Our St. Francis - St. Ambrose parishes entered the crusade rallies in 2021 with good participation.  Last year, even with cool blustery weather and a SOLAR ECLIPSE (!), we had an extraordinary turnout. 

Let's do better this year!  Our 2024 rally will be held in the St. Francis Catholic Church Parking lot at 12:00 Noon.  We hope to see you there again this year and bring friends from our parishes, or other area churches.

2023 Public Square Rosary

10/14/2023

 
Windy, cold, damp weather, and an eclipse!  But the elements didn't stop more than thirty-five St. Francis and St. Ambrose parishioners from praying the rosary together, in the St. Francis parking lot, to spread the message of Fatima.  Some of the participants prayed from the shelter of their cars, but their voices were heard!

106th Public Square Rosary

America Need Fatima.
​America Needs Fatima (ANF) is a special campaign to spread the message of Fatima in the United States. The goal of America Needs Fatima is to win the heart and soul of America for Mary by spreading Our Lady’s Fatima message and promoting devotion to Her Immaculate Heart.

America urgently needs the prophetic messages of Our Lady at Fatima. Above all, America needs a clear direction, a great purpose, and the means to achieve it. The admonitions, requests, and warnings of Mary Most Holy can rightly be called a heaven-sent survival manual.


2023 St. Francis - St. Ambrose Rally.
In 2007, America Needs Fatima started the October Rosary Rally Campaign asking people pray a rosary for America in a public place at noon on the Saturday in October closest to October 13th, when Our Lady performed the miracle of the sun in 1917.  This year we will pray the Rosary for America on Saturday, October 14. at 12:00 Noon, in the St. Francis Catholic Church Parking Lot, 205 Washington in St, Paul.

Our local Rosary Rally will be done in concert with approximately 20,000 other rallies ranging from a few people to more than thirty.  Our past rallies have been well attended and we hope this year will exceed previous events!

Intentions for the Public Square Rosary Crusade:
  • To show God and His Blessed Mother our love and veneration, we offer this Rosary rally as a special public commemoration of Our Lady’s apparitions at Fatima.
  • Through the most Holy Rosary, we ask Our Lord and Our Lady for the conversion of America so that it may fulfill its historic mission.
  • To stop the waves of sacrilege, blasphemy and anti-religious hatred within our society.
  • That our national leaders would seek to honor God’s Law and pray for the wisdom and knowledge necessary to save America from rioting, looting and murder, as well as moral and societal collapse.
  • For the urgent triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in America and the world especially as a result of our massive prayers and acts of reparation offered at these rallies.
  • In reparation for the countless sins which are committed daily against the most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the most Immaculate Heart of Mary.
  • For the Catholic Church. May Our Lady grant it victory over its enemies, declared and undeclared.
  • For America Needs Fatima. May Our Lady grant her many graces for increased dedication and efficiency in her service to the Church.
  • In thanksgiving for the overturn of Roe v. Wade and to end abortion in all 50 states.
  • For the end to abortion, pornography and same-sex “marriage” and all offenses against the Law of God.
  • For each one of us. May Our Lady give us discernment and strength to withstand the trials we face.
  • For our enemies. May Our Lady touch their hearts and convert them.
  • For all those who suffer in this city. May Our Lady console them, help them, and sanctify them. 
  • For the dying. May Our Lady hasten to comfort them in their last moments and grant them the final graces necessary for the salvation of their souls.
  • For those who persevere in virtue. May Our Lady grant them constant progress in sanctification.
  • For those who struggle and hesitate between virtue and vice. May they receive the necessary graces every day to choose virtue over vice.
  • For those who sin. May Our Lady preserve them from despair and bring them back to the good path.
  • For the intentions of those who have requested our prayers.
  • For the generous benefactors who made these rallies possible,
Our Own Local Intentions:
  • For Our Loved One's Return to the faith.
  • For Bishop Kemme and the priests and seminarians of our diocese.
